Breath of the Wild 2 is going to be off the chain
It’s time to talk aboutSkyward Sword again. Amid all of the unnecessary waggle (why do I need to shake the Wiimote to shimmy and swim, I still don’t get it), the hyperactive tutorials that actually continue through the final dungeon, and the excessive backtracking that eventually turns every zone into a slog, there’s a goodZeldagame buried under there: most notably, the structure built by the fun motion sword combat and succinct, killer dungeons.
Take the Earth Temple for example: found in Eldin Volcano, it’s a short and sweet little labyrinth, which makes its transposition intoZelda: Breath of the Wildthat much more natural. Thanks to modder kreny the aforementioned temple is now playable inBreath of the Wild, which you may check out in all its glory in kreny’s video below. Now there are concessions, as you’ll face off against an existing Fireblight Ganon clone instead of the unique Skyward Sword boss Scaldera, and the layout is a bit truncated, but it gets the fiery point across. The Earth Templeis no Ancient Cistern, but it’ll do!
It just goes to show you how fantasticZelda: Breath of the Wild 2is going to be if they add proper dungeons into the mix. Heck, eliminate weapon durability while you’re at it and the two chiefBreathcomplaints will be taken care of.
